Publisher Digital Pajamas and studio Scary Kid have announced the release date for psychological horror Don’t Fret. The game will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Microsoft Store) on December 8.
In Don’t Fret, players will take on the role of a living guitar named Fret, trapped in the nightmare world of Harmonic Heights. Fret attempts to find a way home by exploring the abandoned halls of a music facility, uncovering its secrets, and facing various terrifying creatures.
One of the project’s key features will be an unusual blend of musical themes and psychological horror. Players will explore dozens of hand-crafted locations, including classrooms, underground tunnels, open courtyards, and even routes featuring gondola rides.
The story of Don’t Fret will unfold through audio logs, inspectable items, and cinematic cutscenes. The narrative will explore themes of exploitation, performance, and the search for one’s identity.
